Synopsis

[source,oac_no_warn]
----
asadmin [asadmin-options] delete-jvm-options [--help] 
[--target target] [--profiler={true|false}] 
(jvm-option-name[=jvm-option-value]) [:jvm-option-name[=jvm-option-name]]*
----

[[sthref826]]

Description

The `delete-jvm-options` subcommand removes one or more command-line
options for the Java application launcher. These options are removed
from the Java configuration `java—config` element or the profiler
`profiler` element of the `domain.xml` file. To see the Java application
launcher options that can be deleted, use the
link:list-jvm-options.html#list-jvm-options-1[`list-jvm-options`(1)]
subcommand.

The deletion of some options requires a server restart for changes to
become effective. Other options are set immediately in the environment
of the domain administration server (DAS) and do not require a restart.

Whether a restart is required depends on the type of option.

* Restart is not required for Java system properties whose names do not
start with `-Djava.` or `-Djavax.` (including the trailing period). For
example, restart is not required for the following Java system property: +
`-Denvironment=Production`
* Restart is required for the following options:

** Java system properties whose names start with `-Djava.` or `-Djavax.`
(including the trailing period). For example: +
`-Djava.security.manager`

** Startup parameters for the Java application launcher. For example: +
`-client` +
`-Xmx1024m` +
`-d64`

To restart the DAS, use the
link:restart-domain.html#restart-domain-1[`restart-domain`(1)] command.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

  cluster-name;;
    Specifies a cluster.
  configuration-name;;
    Specifies a named configuration.
`--profiler`::

[[sthref828]]

Operands

jvm-option-name::
  One or more options delimited by a colon (:). The format of the
  operand depends on the following: +

  example, `-Xmx2048m`. +

Note:

If an option name or option value contains a colon, the backslash
(`\`) must be used to escape the colon in the name or value. Other
characters might also require an escape character. For more
information about escape characters in subcommand options, see the
link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] man page.
